# President Trump Removes Canadian Goods From US Federal Procurement

On September 16, 2026, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing the removal of Canadian-origin goods from the U.S. federal civil procurement system. This follows a prior directive to the General Services Administration (GSA) to exclude Canadian products from its Multiple Award Schedules. The action is part of escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada, involving reciprocal tariffs and procurement restrictions. Procurement professionals and contractors engaged in cross-border government supply chains should assess the impact of these changes on sourcing strategies and compliance requirements.

- The General Services Administration (GSA) is implementing exclusion of Canadian goods from federal procurement vehicles, affecting contract availability for Canadian suppliers.
- U.S. contractors should review supply chains to ensure compliance with new procurement restrictions and consider alternative domestic or non-Canadian sources.
- This development signals increased scrutiny on international procurement and may influence future trade and procurement policies.
- Organizations involved in government contracting should monitor related actions by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) for potential regulatory updates.
